Nearly There

Hello all you sweet people ,

Just squeezing in a quick post , in what seems to be turning out to be a rather busy week.

It's been pretty chilly in these parts this week . Lots of frost and scraping of ice off the car in the morning. I took this picture out of the car window on my way to work yesterday (I was stationary at the time :0)

As you can see it was pretty foggy. Maybe I should have cropped this image , hang on ....there , that's better......

Would you like to see how my blanket is coming along ? I do hope so ...This is what it looked like on Monday........

I'm loving doing the border ! So nice to be able to whizz along doing simple double/treble clusters . It reminds me of my granny stripe. And in the cold weather it's so nice to snuggle under my blanket as I work :0)....

This picture was taken today , cosy crochet in front of the fire. An open fire or log burner would be even better , but the flames on my gas fire looked very homely and I certainly enjoyed sitting in my warm lounge , hooking away on a chilly day :0)

Hi Jacqui, I was blog surfing and found you. So happy I did, grannies always catch my eye! Your current blankie is wonderful. I've just gotten back into crochet and am totally loving it. I'll go check out your Flickr now. Have a lovely day :-)

Hey Jacquie, the blanket is coming along a treat, the colours are just gorgeous.Love the foggy photos, makes me want to find a nice cosy blanket to snuggle under.Cool weather here, needed to dig out the Winter jim jams, but still T shirt weather during the day.Have a great weekend to come.

Your blanket is beautiful - I am doing almost the same one - I'm just joining the squares together but I might pinch your idea of a coloured border - I was worried about running out of my white wool - thanks for the inspiration XXX

Hi Jacquie, the blanket is gorgeous and such beautiful colours, especially in front of the cosy fireplace scene. And I can't believe how foggy it is in that picture! Very atmospheric though. I've presented you with a little award on my site as I really enjoy reading your blog! Hope you have a lovely weekend :) Sarah

Love love love your blanket! The colours are beautiful! I am fairly new to crochet and was wondering what kind of yarn you use for your blanket? I am in the process of making my first one for my Mom but still unsure of the best yarns to use xxx

Hi, Jacquie!I hope you don´t mind, but I´ve crocheted a stool cover just like yours! I love it and couldn´t resist doing mine...I´ve written a post and linked to your blog, informing that you´re the "author", OK? :)The link to my stool cover is here: http://linhasimaginarias.blogspot.com/2010/11/isto-e-o-croche.htmlBest regards,Claudia, from Brazil
